Marklin 7186 Turntable/7028 Metal Shed and Stall Spacing? Creative workarounds?

Hi all,
A quick question for the M track experts out there. I'm trying to hook up a 7186 turntable to a 7028 engine shed, which will only fit in one location due to compact layout dimensions and spacing. The turntable has 6 succesive outlets, however they places across the gap designed for 2 x 7028 sheds placed together for 6 stalls.
Since the gap between sheds is wider than the 3 tracks within, the turntable has a wider spacing in the center to compensate for this. Unfortunately for space reasons I have no choice but to place my shed in that center, 2 stalls on one side and a single stall on the other. (either side if fine, but has the same issue)
Has anyone sorted a workaround using filler pieces or anything else to make this work? I don't have any bits to experiment with, but somehow need to generate a solution. I'm sure I'm not the first person to run into this issue
Thanks in advance! If too confusing I can snap an image tonight |

Hi There is a topic on Stummi forum about adding tracks where you want on a 7186 The full topic is here: https://www.stummiforum.de/viewtopic.php?t=166527The self explanatory picture is here  The conditions are (in my opinion): * to cut a rectangular square at the new track position (the registration hole). It must located exactly the same as for existing tracks * to cut a straight M track (5106 or so) so that it look like on the picture * feed the track separately IMO: don't bother to have studs (puckos) on the turntable itself as the sliders allow a zone without studs Glue the additional rail in place (cynolit or 2 component glue?) For the TT functioning the only point is the registration hole that will stop the bridge with precision, I hope this helps Cheers Jean |

Back to my hack, I actually just reworked the track plan a bit to use it the way Marklin intended :) I'm working on a secret xmas present so I cannot post images here yet, but its proving quote fun ;) More to follow! |

First of all, I would really try to find a more suitable position for turntable and sheds. But if that absolutly can´t be done, then I would suggest using the Vollmer 6-stall roundhouse. (I have it myself) It is rather modular, and comes with the necessary spacing-pieces for coping also with the old Märklin turbtable. refs#; old: 5758, new: 45758. Edit; Of course you dont HAVE to use all 6 stalls; You use its modularity to incorporate only the number of sheds you want. Edited by user 01 December 2020 13:48:37(UTC)
